Illegal Configuration: Compiling IB documents for earlier than iOS 7 is no longer supported

Question

I recently updated to XCode 9. When I build the app it says "illegal configuration" for some storyboards in my pod files. I tried to recreate the storyboard files but it doesn't help.

Answer 1

XCode 9 will not support storyboards that are built for iOS version less than 7.

Try changing the Builds for in File Inspector to a higher version then Clean and Build.

See screenshot

Edit: Important info from @user435779 below: Restart XCode if the errors don't go away.

Answer 2

Simply set the deployment target to 8.0 + in General to fix this issue. No need to go through each xib file.

Answer 3

As storyboard in Xcode 9 will not support which is below iOS 7.0, so you need to update the iOS version in File inspector.

Hope it works!!!

Answer 4

I tried both methods - On Xcode 9.3 (9E145)

For each XIB, I added the following Target.

The On Targets -> General -> Deployment Info-> Change target

Cleaned the project and build again into device. It worked!

Answer 5

My case was the different, I did all the above solution but not getting succeed build, so I read the error with focus and go to manually with the file open the .Xib file and change it development target to iOS 10 and later.
